 When a politician makes a "pledge" it's generally meaningless, and yet people buy it.  A pledge to F. JB is just something he says to get elected.

Another pledge that is meaningless to them.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America 
and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation 
under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. 
 @48bfa577 Sad, but true.
